"The Giver " Blog

              While reading "The Giver " by Lois Lowry there had been a lot of words that appeared again and again . One such word that appeared again and again was the word Ceremony. In chapter 4, Jonas keep talking about the Ceremony that was about to happen in the month of December . The ceremony is called " The Ceremony of Twelve " . Suddenly " He laughed softly. Thinking about the Ceremony again, Jonas. He teased himself. " ( page # 29) I think that this keeps coming up again and again because maybe it's going to be an important event in the story that is going to happen. It can impact the story or make it better and more interesting .


                  In the book “ The Giver” I noticed some contrast and contradictions between our society and Joan's society. On page five there was one contrast and contradictions. One contrast and contradiction was the word “animals”.This word is “..... Often used to describe someone uneducated or clumsy, someone who didn't fit in”p .5 . This quote is showing us that in their society this word is not common and is not used as what we describe it. In our society , everyone knows this word means animals, meaning species like elephants, giraffes, and a lions.  We are used  to this word because we hear it all over the world and we have animals all over the world.
